Sunday on CBS's "Face The Nation," Gov. Jay Nixon (D-MO) said the local police "attempting to besmirch a victim of a shooting" by releasing a video of Michael Brown allegedly engaging in a "strong-arm" convenience store robbery.
"I think it had an incendiary effect," Nixon said. "I mean, when you release picture and you clearly are attempting to besmirch a victim of a shooting, shot down in his own street, a young man and at the same time you’re releasing information to try to make it, to tarnish him, then properly, there was a lot of folks that were concerned about that, and I do think it flamed it back up and has caused us to have to deal with some of that."

Jeremiah Wilson Nixon, an Obama boy to the bitter end. I hope he stumbles into a way to take Clair McCaskill down with him.
What did I expect?I would have expected him to keep his mouth shut and not go political hack this early.But you’re right he’s a Dem and normal ethics have no place with them.It’s all about turn out the vote anyway they can.I bet the police unions are pretty pissed off with him at this point.
DOJ “community relations” specialists were in the crowds organizing the protests and the outsiders who were driving the violence.
The Obama Administration and the Missouri Democrats were in the process of taking over the investigation kicking the local police to the curb. The intent of this take over was to manufacture a false, racially polarizing investigation to enrage and incite black voters enough to get them to the polls to help prevent the Democrats from losing big in the upcoming elections.
The truth would eventually come out to some degree, but with DOJ and Gov Nixon's help, the investigation would drag on until well after the 2014 elections with periodic inflammatory releases of information being released up until November to manipulate the black community into staying angry and alienated enough to turn out to vote in large numbers and to shame and demoralize non black voters from turning out to vote.
The Ferguson police chief released what he could to get their story out before the race baiters took over and buried the facts of the case and manufactured their own narrative to support their agenda.
The Democrat strategy is imploding now that the facts are out and may actually backfire on them in November.
This is just beyond bat-*** crazy. This liberal culture and its democrat party will do or say anything to help further their corrupt agenda.
They must know deep down that November is going to be a very bad month for them so they are trying to rally the troops with more deception and lies to attempt to hold on to power. I don’t trust anything their leaders do.

I’m wondering if any police unions endorsed this buffoon when he was running for governor.
Shouldn't that cut both ways?
Presenting evidence against the cop would be "besmirching" him.
He’s a Rat playing the race card. /so yes, he is serious...
Very likely they did. He was Missouri Attorney General for 16 years.
Possibly Uncle Chip?
In this case, a cigar is a "blunt."
The reason Saint Michael wanted the box of Swisher Sweets is because drug dealers hollow them out and fill them with marijuana. When you smoke a "blunt," the pungent cigar smoke "blunts" the smell of the marijuana so you can smoke them in public and not raise any suspicions.
The evidence points to Saint Michael being a drug dealer. Surprise, surprise.
Jay Nixon is out of his mind...
He just wanted the cigars to celebrate the birth of his new baby with his friends.

Oh look, another race baiting politician.
How utterly common.
RightwardHo :)
And some will Miley again next time because the brass don’t give a crap about the guy in the street. They just want to curry favor with the politicians.
“They must know deep down that November is going to be a very bad month for them so they are trying to rally the troops with more deception and lies to attempt to hold on to power.”
The rats lose votes every time there are riots/looting. For every black it drives to the polls, they will get 2 white voters to vote against them.
Riots will get even moderate Dems to vote Republican.
Democrats are such loathsome creatures.
Missouri Governor: Police ‘Attempting to Besmirch’ Mike Brown>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Slumin’ for votes or what?
Wait until the wiggy , racebaiting rioters come for the Governor? Who will he call, the police or ghostbusters?
The POHlice won’t be heppin’ him!
The only one besmirching Michael Brown’s reputation is Michael Brown.
I don’t see anyone making him rob the store or strong arming the much smaller shopkeeper. He obviously considered himself above the law. This was evidently Michael’s typical day in the neighborhood.
I bet there is footage of the actual shooting, but anyone from the neighborhood would be afraid to give it to the cops, if it shows the cop in a good light.
The police should offer a reward for videos of the incident and tell them they can remain anonymous.
